After convincing Xu Wei, Guo Dan's overseas plans are already ready.

But all this is just to prepare for a trip to sea.

What a humble request.

Is there so much that needs to be done?

But not to mention, if Guo Dan directly applies to go to sea, he will have to work hard for at least a few years.

This is the Ming Dynasty.

A very, very tangled dynasty.

Big things, they were able to discuss for years.

And most of the results are unsuccessful.

However, Guo Dan has no complaints about this, there are pros and cons to everything, although this made him go around a big circle and made a lot of preparations, but others can't go around this circle, so as long as he goes around, it is a monopoly.

If you can monopolize it, what's the harm in working hard for two or three years?

And it means a lot to him.

......

"I wonder if you have persuaded Mr. Xu to become the dean?"

"How do you know?"

Guo Dan, who had just come back, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Aunt Xu ask.

Aunt Xu smiled: "I am also in Yinuo Academy. ”

Guo Dan was curious: "Then why don't you call me?" ”

"I saw that you and Mr. Xu were chatting very attentively, so I didn't bother you."

"Then why do you think that I am lobbying Mr. Xu to be the dean of Yinuo Academy?" Guo Dan asked again.

Aunt Xu said: "I have talked with those teachers in the past two days, and found that although they are not as famous as Su Xu, Cui Youli and others, they are not idle people, they are more open-minded, well-informed, and have their own unique opinions, which are very suitable for Yinuo Academy, and they are all selected by Mr. Xu, I believe that Mr. Xu is not too serious, if he really faces this matter, then he will be able to help you manage Yinuo Academy." ”

Guo Dan smiled bitterly: "But I also said that with Mr. Xu's character, he will not agree to be the dean, in fact, I am saying goodbye to him." ”

"Goodbye?"

Aunt Xu frowned slightly and said, "You shouldn't have let him go so easily." ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "Why? ”

Aunt Xu pondered for a while, and said: "Actually, I asked you to keep Mr. Xu, the School of Management is only secondary, with his intelligence and strategy, he can help you in many ways, do you know how many ministers there were in the past, and the general wants to invite him to be a staff member?" ”

Of course I know, and I'm one of them. Guo Dan grinned and said, "But I already have a layman, I can't have two hearts." ”

Aunt Xu just glared at him slightly, and said, "How can I compare with Mr. Xu." ”

Guo Dan said: "But we have the same personality, which is very important, just like there are countless masters in the world, but I am only willing to entrust my life to Feixi." ”

Aunt Xu subconsciously glanced at Yang Feixu.

Yang Feixu said ruthlessly: "He's just afraid that one more person will know his secret." ”

Aunt Xu pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and said, "I know." ”

Guo Dan looked at Yang Feixu depressedly and said, "I finally know why you talk so little, because you can always talk to death." ”

Yang Feixu said: "That's because there are too many people who are thieves. ”

“......！”

Guo Dan was speechless.

Aunt Xu shook her head lightly, and said with a straight face: "But I really think you should work harder to keep Mr. Xu." ”

Guo Dan glanced at Aunt Xu, was slightly moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "It is enough to have a layman, the old gentleman is old after all, and when I get in tune with him, I may be ...... Hehe, in the long run, I would prefer to make progress together with the laymen. ”

Aunt Xu said, "It seems that you know that you definitely can't keep Mr. Xu." ”

Why keep him, he has to go to Tianjin Wei. Guo smiled lightly: "Why should a layman be arrogant. ”

Aunt Xu said with a straight face: "In front of Mr. Xu, I don't even have the qualifications to be self-defeating. ”

"But now it's us who are working together, and that's the reality."

Guo Dan spread his hands and said, "Recommend another person to me." ”

Aunt Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Baiquan Monk." ”

"Reason."

"According to your educational philosophy, emphasizing the need for students to take the initiative to learn and weakening students' dependence on teachers, then the person in charge of managing the college must be open-minded, informal, and approachable.

Secondly, many teachers and students admired Yangming Xinxue, and the fame of Baiquan Jushi could help him to serve the public. ”

"Based on these two points alone, Baiquan Jushi is indeed a very suitable candidate." Guo Dan nodded.

Aunt Xu said: "I also suggest that you also make him responsible for Yinuo Journal." ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "Why is this?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "Don't you know that all universities criticize your education model and philosophy in their newspapers? ”

"Of course I do."

Guo Dan sighed and said, "But the facts have told me that they are all professionals in this field, and you will never be able to convince them, so this time I don't want to spend too much energy on fighting public opinion with them, because it doesn't make much sense." ”

Aunt Xu said: "But I thought that this public opinion war must be fought. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"This person's words are terrifying, the more you forbear, the more they will gain an inch, maybe you don't care, anyway, you don't come here often, but the students of Yinuo Academy have so-called, which is why as soon as you leave, Yinuo School will immediately be demoralized.

Therefore, you must fight back and fight with them, as far as I know about the literati, as long as you continue to fight, then you will get the support of many people. But you're right, they're professionals in this area, and you don't have to compete with them personally, because Baiquan is also a professional, and he'll be more than happy to do it. ”

Although Li Zhen is the same as Xu Wei, he is also deviant, but the two are actually very different.

Xu Wei is just indulgent, extreme, cynical, and very personal emotions.

And Li Zhen has a set of ideas and philosophies behind him, why does he cut his hair, because he pursues a ***, why he can be friends with Aunt Xu, it is because he advocates the emancipation of women, why he regards Guo Dan as an idol, because he supports both business and agriculture.

His behavior is supported by thoughts in the back.

He was also a professional debater, and he often debated with people, and that's how his fame came from.

Guo Dan said: "But Baiquan Jushi is too extreme, and I am worried about ......." ”

Aunt Xu smiled and said: "If you regard Baiquan Monk as a reckless man, then you really underestimate him, he will know the severity, during this period, he has endured and not argued with them, mainly because he is afraid of affecting you." ”

Guo Dan nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, just according to the words of the layman." ”

Aunt Xu suddenly remembered something, and said: "This Kaifeng Mansion is about to collect taxes, but you don't seem to have set taxes for Kaifeng Mansion yet." ”

Last year was an extremely special situation, Guo Dan exempted many people from taxes, so how to pay taxes in Kaifeng Mansion has not yet been decided.

Guo smiled lightly: "Since I didn't say it, then how much you should pay is how much you have to pay." ”

Aunt Xu frowned slightly.

Guo Dan asked, "The layman has other ideas?" ”

Aunt Xu was stunned, shook her head and said, "I don't have any other ideas, I just saw that you didn't say anything for a long time, and I thought you had other plans." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "In fact, I have always paid attention to the accounts of Kaifeng Mansion, and I also know that now God is napping, the crops are difficult to harvest, and the people of Kaifeng Mansion are very bitter, and I use the vassal king to collect the taxes of those big landlords, and I monopolize many industries, I can appropriately reduce some taxes and reduce the burden of the people." ”

Aunt Xu said, "Then why don't you do this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Because it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!" If this tax is reduced, it will be more difficult to rise again, and because of Zhang Juzheng's change, if I stipulate that the people's taxes will be reduced, then the landlords' taxes will be reduced accordingly.

This food is in my hands, and if they are in trouble, I will save them, but if they have their taxes reduced, they will have trouble, and I will save them. In addition, as far as I know, because of the relationship between private schools, many people came here, and they also brought a lot of silver, and the people had money to pay taxes. ”

Aunt Xu smiled: "I'm just asking casually." ”

In fact, she is very, very looking forward to Guo Dan recreating a new set of tax laws, this is because Kaifeng Mansion is different from Weihui Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion is the same as other state capitals, if Guo Dan can implement tax reform in Kaifeng Prefecture, it can affect other state capitals.

It's a pity that Guo Dan doesn't have this plan.

You can pay as much as you want.

Of course, he also has a calculation, he will not force the people to death, although the heavens are still not beautiful, and the past two years are not a bumper harvest year, but the people of Kaifeng Mansion have many other livelihoods, and this private college has driven a lot of economy.

However, when Guo Dan announced the news.

The people of Kaifeng Mansion were very disappointed.

They thought that Guo Dan would be tax-free again, at least to reduce it.

But that didn't happen.

But the people have no complaints, after all, Guo Dan has exempted them from taxes for a year, and it is inevitable that they should be, the key people have indeed made some money this year, and they can pay taxes just by selling vegetables, and Guo Dan only collects taxes according to the law, and those housekeepers have not added harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

After all, there are also gentry and litigators here.

It's that the readers here are dissatisfied.

They think that Guo Dan must make a lot of money from it, because Guo Dan has a monopoly on many industries here, not only minerals, but also the salt profits of Zhou Wangfu, and he also scores some points, the retail industry is also his, the transportation industry is also his, and the construction industry is his.

You say how much he earned.

But Guo Dan did not announce how much he earned this time.

He just talked to Zhu Suqin, the king of Zhou, and then left Kaifeng Mansion and went back to Weihui Mansion.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

As soon as I came to the city, I saw a large group of people looking forward to it in front of the city gate.

It was the wealthy businessmen of Weihui Mansion.

Guo Dan got out of the carriage, patted Zhou Feng's belly that had become round and bulging very impolitely, and said, "You guys are really well-fed!" ”

If it were usual, Zhou Feng would definitely be a little unhappy, after all, his seniority is here, how can he shoot someone's stomach.

But at this moment, everyone laughed embarrassedly.
